I'm sure someone will dig into QC's as soon as the game is out and post their test results.

Dont think anyone really knows how it is working lmao

so the 3-2 (6 pitch) ground out with Carpenter and a minus -1 for that hitter results in 5 pitches, so Peralta entering at 2-1 (8 pitches 5 from Carpenter) is added in with Peralta finishing his AB at 11 pitches, so minus -1 for Peralta (now 10 pitches) and now Holliday steps in at 3-2 15 pitches. Think I get it

I have not used the feature yet, but given the example above. It looks like the concept is to subtract one pitch from the count whenever a new batter is up.

or do not count the pitch resulting in play or out. Guess it makes sense, think I was hung up on Russel's comment about -2 for 3-2 counts

I just found out today we had to remove the -2 pitches for 3-2 counts. It's -1 pitch per batter.

Batter comes up with a 2-1 counts(3 pitches)....pitch count is 5(first count) plus 3(second count) for 8! At first Ramone said it was 1 per and 2 for 3-2...but I think he then corrected it later in this thread when he quoted the guide...here...saying it's 1 per AB.. M.K. Knight165

Ahem....

Another video posted of Cards vs Boston, another user, not keystone so its off screen. Not great quality so no reason to make a new thread for this, but its there if anyone wants some more uninterrupted gameplay.

So uh, the "OUT OF PLAY" text is new.

For years, I've tried to find ways to clean up graphic displays on The Show. Now so many new flashy things are added, I think this year I just have to say, "The hell with it, it's a video game."
